Wow. $211 is a steep discount. People are going to buy with Linux just to save money, some will try it (because it is there), and some may like it and stay.

At the very least, people may learn that Windows is no easier to install (or even harder).

Windows is no easier to install (or even harder).

I've installed both recent windows and common distros many times by hand (where unattended wasn't trivial) and found everything except latest windows 11 quite similar (including arch) and very easy. Current windows 11 afaik needs registry hacks but I've not installed one yet.
